IDF soldiers on Friday used live ammunition as security forces clashed with Palestinian and left-wing demonstrators who were protesting against the separation fence in Bil'in. As a result, a demonstrator was injured during the weekly protest.

The IDF confirmed that live fire was used, while military officials said Friday's demonstration was unusually violent.
